(3) K-3 At first the story's misbehaving students don't flinch at the appearance of their substitute "creacher," a green multi-tentacled type who speaks in lugubrious rhyme. But when he shares the fates of former students that he punished for misdeeds, the kids start gulping and the cartoony art gets fiendish. The final twist of this teacher-creature story line earns an A-plus.
